Why do Netflix, etc. play fine over 85 Mbps Powerline but TiVo does not?

The question says it all. I've used the older 85 Mbps Netgear Powerline gear for several years to connect my TiVos and other equipment. Video streaming has been a secondary priority, but it works well for streaming Netflix and other services on my Roku 3 or on the TiVos. More recently, however, I was trying to use it with a Mini in a location where there is no coax so MoCa isn't an option.



Programming on the Mini starts to play fine but after a 30 seconds or so the video and audio become choppy. I've now upgraded to 500 Mbps Powerline equipment so this is no longer a problem for me, but I still don't understand why the streaming services worked fine with the older equipment but content from the TiVo did not. Is it simply a matter of different video formats or compression?
